Final exam: The objective written test will be compulsory for those students who have not participated in or passed the continuous evaluation of the subject throughout the course. The global final exam, as a single evaluation, will consist of a test consisting of a theoretical part and a problem solving part with independent assessment, being necessary to obtain a minimum of 5 points in each and an average of 5: a) theoretical 50% ; b) 50% practice.

The evaluation criteria contemplated in Table A-II / 1 of the STCW Code, and included in the Quality Assurance System, will be taken into account when designing and carrying out the evaluation.

Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic waiver of attendance exemption, as established by the "REGULATION OR RULES OF DEDICATION TO THE STUDY OF TWO STUDENTS OF GRAO NA UDC (Arts. 2.3; 3.b; 4.3 and 7.5) ( 05/04/2017) will be able to take the partial tests, if any, without the need to attend 80% of the face-to-face classes, as long as the teachers are duly informed at the beginning of the course. entrust this student with different tasks / problems throughout the course to be exposed during tutoring hours.

On the other hand, the fraudulent performance of tests or assessment activities, once verified, will directly involve the grade of "0" in the subject in the corresponding call, thus invalidating any rating obtained in all assessment activities for the extraordinary call.

Methodologies	Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech	Presentation of each one of the topics with the support of ICTs, when deemed necessary, also providing students with some notes with the entire syllabus. As a complement to the theoretical classes, different problems of loading and stowage calculations are exposed in different ship models.
Objective test	The objective test will consist of a series of questions, between 10 and 20, of conceptual development on the subjects taught in class and on which the student will be provided with sufficient material to pass. The resolution of one to three stowage problems of the same type as those solved in class will also be included in the test.
Laboratory practice	Resolution of different stowage calculations with different types of ships. Students must solve the problems proposed by the teacher in order to apply the theoretical knowledge in a practical way and / or through load simulation software.

Methodologies	Competencies	Description	Qualification
Laboratory practice	A22 A32 B10 B12	The final objective test will consist of solving two stowage calculations (with different types of ships) and struts, similar to those solved in class. It will be compulsory for students who do not pass the problem-solving assessment by course, if they were done. Resolution and participation in practical exercises in class can be valued up to 10%. Competences: A22 and A32.	50
Objective test	A22 A23 A32 A33 B2 B13	A33 B2 B13 The student will have the option of passing the subject by course as long as he attends 80% of the face-to-face classes and passes the partial tests, if any. Class attendance will be valued with up to 10%, taking into account the student's participation, the resolution of the exposed exercises and the evaluation made by the teaching staff throughout the course. The final qualification will be the result of the averages obtained in the partial tests and / or the final test, being necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 5.0 in each of the tests that is made. Objective written test to evaluate the knowledge and understanding of the basic contents of the subject, considering the abilities and skills of the student, and their strategies and formulations in solving problems. You can combine different types of questions and problems. Each partial test (P1 and P2) will mean 50% and the global objective test (average mark of both) will report 100% of the total evaluation of the subject. Objective written test. It will be mandatory for those students who do not participate or pass the partial tests of the subject throughout the course. It allows evaluating and verifying the expected results regarding the global content of the subject and verifying the degree of achievement of the proposed objectives. The global final exam, as a single assessment, will consist of a test composed of a theoretical part and a problem-solving part with independent assessment, being necessary to obtain a minimum of 5 points in each: a) theoretical (50%); b) practice (50%).
